First week in the MTC

Good morning blog world! I am Rachael, Tori's sister. She has asked me to update her blog each week as she sends a weekly e-mail to the fam-jam and to all who would like to know how she is doing! This first post in the MTC was supposed to include a picture of her and her entire district but the photo didn't upload for some reason, so I am including a picture a nice woman who works at the MTC sent our family!

I will just be posting her e-mail each week with no forshadowing such as this, but just so you know, NOPE. Tori is not being a rebel and updating her blog herself. I am behind the scenes bringing her to you!

This is Sister Sulz, and Sister Wood on their FIRST day in the MTC!

Week #1 Email: Sent September 25, 2012.

Hello!!! :)

So I've officially been at the MTC for 1 WEEK!!!!

Where to start, I feel like so much has happened this past week not to mention SARAH HAD HER BABY and only Rachael told me about it! ( Family, you should probably e-mail me some time...)

So to start off the MTC isn't as bad as people have been telling me it is, if anything it is the exact opposite. I am having so much fun and love every minute of it!

My companion (Sister Wood) is amazing. Before coming out I was worried about what my companion was going to be like, but Sister Wood is WAY better than anything I had wished for. She is so smart and we have so much fun together! My district is so much fun, they are a bunch of super energetic Elders who keep me smiling.

The KOREAN language is crazy!!!!! haha I love learning and trying to speak a language that isn't normal to my own. I'm not going to lie I've have a few really tough days so far in language class, but I know that Heavenly Father called me to this mission for a reason, and if he wants me here, I know he will help me to learn the language. :)
( My companion is so smart and picks up everything super fast so I use her as my personal tutor)!!!!

On Sunday this week my companion and I were asked to sing in church, we sang " Beautiful Savior" It went really well!

Our whole scarament meeting is in Korean, so all the prayers, and talks, and hymns are in Korean... SO I will have to learn how to read faster. haha So far we've learn't the alpahbet, how to in truduce ourselves, say prayers, bear testimony and to do some basic gramar. Its crazy! haha but I really do love every minute of being a missionary.

I already am sad thinking about the fact that 1 week of my mission has already past, and I will never beable to get it back. It really is so important not to waste any time and to give all I have to the Lord at all times.

My branch president said that as soon as I waked in to the MTC " Viktoria" Died, and Sister Sulz was born, I now am I new person with a calling to serve God and serve the people of Korea! And I'm so excited to get started.

I could talk forever but I only have 30 minutes to e-mail!

I love you all and am so grateful for your love and support!

Thank  you for all the Dear Elders! They are the best!
